Conversion price

Conversion price

The conversion price is the price per share at which a convertible can be exchanged for new shares.

What is the conversion price?

The conversion price (Swedish: konverteringskurs) is the price per share at which a convertible can be exchanged for new shares. This sets the exchange ratio: a loan amount of SEK 100,000 and a conversion price of SEK 50 give 2,000 shares. It is set in the terms and may be recalculated, for example after a split or a bonus issue.

 

Conversion price and the ownership picture

On conversion, the number of shares increases, diluting existing owners (dilution). The new shares are registered with Bolagsverket and entered in the share ledger.
